There’s a girl I know, don’t know her name
She’s got eyes like fire and she knows no pain
But there are scars that show when she walks at night
Man I hope to God that she does all right
Let’s take an easy ride through the country hills
Keep your eyes on the road till your mind grows still
The stories you tell don’t give a man no peace
Can I comfort you with the songs I sing
Can I comfort you with the songs I sing
When the lights go out and the stage gets dark
We’ll find our way in the place we start,
If you have a child, just take a gentle hand
There’s not one word you say that I don’t understand
She says don’t sing a song for me
Just keep it still, Don’t sing a song for me
When you go to town, just look back east
There’s a mountain there that will move your feet
Some will call you mean they call you old
There’s a better place where your story’s told
Let’s take an easy ride through the country hills
Keep your mind on that road till the time grows still
Those stories you tell don’t give a man no peace
Can I comfort you with the songs I sing
Can I comfort you with the songs I sin
